Wei Guofu Chong looked at Zi Sang and said: "Prime Minister! You have eradicated the old forces, and only the old master is left in the court. Can it still threaten the Prime Minister's reform in Wei?" Zi Sang said: " The old master is very cunning and cultivates a large number of reforming talents in the palace. In fact, he is reforming the country of Wei. This is what I am happy about. But secretly increasing his own strength and putting me to death is what is scary. !" After hearing what it said, Fu Chong began to worry about it and said, "Xiangguo, what should you do next?" Zisang stood up and walked up, standing in front of the window, looking up at the circle in the sky. Yue said: "Everyone is treated equally. If there are indeed talents for reform in the Taishi Mansion, they should be promoted. As long as we regain the lost land and destroy Zhongshan for the sake of the strength of Wei State, we will have no regrets even if we die." Fu Chong stood on Zi. Behind Sang, he looked at Zi Sang lovingly and said, "Zi Sang." Zi Sang turned to face Fu Chong and said, "Fu Chong! Zi Sang still has something to say to Fu Chong." Fu Chong said. "If the Prime Minister has anything to say, just say it." Zi Sang stood in front of Fu Chong and said, "In Zi Sang's heart, there is only Fu Chong. From now on, Zi Sang will not marry for the rest of his life. Fu Chong returns to the palace. Zi Sang will never see Fu Chong again." Fu Chong looked at Zi Sang standing in front of him, shook his head and said, "Why is this?" Zi Sang explained: "Meeting ministers in the harem, this is the palace It's a big taboo. If those people with ulterior motives get hold of it, the reform will be impacted. Fu Chong doesn't want to see Zisang's reform plan in the Wei Kingdom fail." There were tears in the corners of Fu Chong's eyes, and he said: "If I were here What should I do if the palace misses you?" Zi Sang took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and said, "This jade pendant is something I carry with me. I give it to my husband. If you miss me, take it out and have a look. From now on, When Sang entered the Palace of Wei, he would be satisfied if he could look at Fu Chong's chamber from a distance."
In the years since Zisang was the Prime Minister of Wei, he has never been flirtatious with women, and he will never marry for the rest of his life. Many times, the king of Wei gave him several maids, but Zi Sang refused. The King of Wei also had good intentions, and wanted her to have a home in the state of Wei, to be granted a wife, a wife, a salary, and an official position, but she was rejected by her. The King of Wei was also puzzled. He returned to Fu Chong's palace in the state of Wei and asked, "Fu Chong, you said that the prime minister is not close to women. What is he trying to do?" Fu Chong sat aside and said, "Your Majesty, sir. I'm thinking! The Prime Minister has worked hard for the great cause of political reform, and it's normal for him not to be flirtatious with women. Your Majesty, if you have such a minister to assist you, our country of Wei will be strong." The King of Wei said thoughtfully: "The Prime Minister is really a good person. You are a minister of the public and loyal country."
After Tu Su took Yeling's seat, he helped the victims, built a large porridge shed in front of Yeling's mansion, and opened a warehouse to store grain. But the grain in the granary has bottomed out. There is no grain in the granary. This is a worrying thing. Standing on the city tower, he said: "Food is the most important thing for the people." He looked at the victims in the city and felt even more anxious. at this time. It suddenly thought of a way to return to Yeling Mansion and summon some officials to enter Yeling Mansion. Ye Ling faced these officials and said: "We can divide the households into five classes. The rich will provide half of the food and save food, and the other will live in poverty; the richer will only live in food but not help; the middle-level people will not help either; the second poor will give half in charity; All the destitute people will be given alms, rice will be allocated by the government, and half of the taxes will be suspended. The rich will not disobey orders so that the poor can survive the disaster years." These officials stepped forward one after another and said: "Although this method is good, but who Are you willing to use these stored grains to help the victims?" Tu Su stood up and faced these officials and said: "The Prime Minister is carrying out a reform in Daliang, the capital. The reform decree will be implemented according to the local people's conditions without hesitation. You go back to the government and promulgate the decree. Anyone who violates the law will have all their documents confiscated. Their property was confiscated, and their families were sent to the army in Hexi." An official came forward and said, "Ye Ling is a big bug, there are many victims in the city now. Ye Ling should come up with a solution that can be solved at the moment." Tu Su asked: "The richest man in the city Who is that?" The official replied: "The richest in the city should be the Yanping family, the richest man in Ye. Their family has been doing business for generations and is very business-minded." Tu Su said: "Okay, I should pay a visit. Let’s look at this rich businessman.” The official was stunned and said, “Ye Ling Da Chong, why are we visiting him?” Tu Su said, “Go and borrow food.”
Ye Ling walked out of Ye Ling's mansion and stood in front of the porridge shed. Refugees here are queuing up to receive porridge. They looked at Tu Su who was standing aside. Tu Su just smiled faintly and nodded silently. The victims all knelt down together and shouted: "Master Qingtian." Tu Su stepped forward to help an old man up, looked at the victims behind him, and said, "You all get up." Then he looked at the man standing in front of him. The old man asked: "Sir, are you still full?" The old man grinned, showing a few teeth, and the wrinkles were written on his face, and said: "You are full, you are full. Big insect , after you come to Yedi, kill corrupt officials, you are a good official who serves the country and the people." As he spoke, he knelt down again. Tu Su helped the old man up again and said: "We are the food and clothing parents of the people. It is within the scope of our responsibilities as officials to do practical things for the people. Go and get some porridge." He then looked at the refugees and said, "You all go. Let’s get the porridge and drink it.”
Tu Su looked at these common people, turned around and left, heading to the home of the richest man, Yan Ping. Standing in front of the house and looking at it, this house is really big. The one with the deep wall is worthy of being the richest man in Ye. There was a scribe accompanying him. Tu Su looked at the scribe and said with a smile: "We have been walking around here for a long time, and we still don't know where the main entrance of the house is?" The scribe replied: "Big bug, little one knows." They wandered along the wall and finally found the main gate of the house. In front of the main gate is the front street of Yecheng. What they were walking on just now was the back street of Yecheng. In the past, this was the place with the most prosperous commerce, which was equivalent to the current city center. To be able to build a house in this central location, the strength behind it was quite a lot. Tu Su must have thought at this time that this insect was not simple and had business acumen.
Tu Su stood in front of the main entrance of the house and ordered the clerk to go forward and knock on the door. The two doormen opened the door. A servant asked: "Who are you, and why did you come to see our master?" The clerk said, "Just say that Ye Ling Da Chong came to visit." The servant immediately opened the door and welcomed Tu Su and the clerk in. Yanping came out of the house to greet him and saluted, "It's a big bug from Ye's command. The common people may not welcome you from afar, but some may not welcome you from afar." Tu Su returned the greeting and said, "It's polite to be a member of the army."
Yanping welcomed Tu Su into the study. The shelves were filled with various pottery and bronze auspicious tripods. Yanping turned around and bowed to greet him: "Dachong, please have a seat." Tu Su looked around and sat in front of several cases. Yanping then sat down opposite each other and asked, "I wonder why the big insect came here?" Tu Suyan said, "I came here to borrow grain from you, and I will pay it back in full when the harvest is harvested." After hearing this, Yanping said, He said with a smile: "The food in the warehouse has bottomed out, right?" Tu Su looked at Yanping quietly, thinking, "There is no business without treachery!" Then he said: "To tell you the truth, the food in the warehouse is only enough for three days." After hearing this, Yanping said: "The common people know that Da Chong is helping the victims in the city. The common people should believe it, but there is one condition." Tu Su asked: "What are the conditions?" Yanping asked: "The salt and iron contracted by the government, and the uniforms, armors, weapons, and bedding worn by the soldiers are all contracted to the common people, and are managed by the common people's families. How good is it." Tu Su stood up and said: "You You're too greedy, you won't take the opportunity to blackmail me." After saying that, he stood up and left. Yanping stood behind him and said, "Da Chong, please stay." Tu Su turned around and said, "What else can I do outside of the Yuan Dynasty?" Yanping walked up and said, "Do you want to borrow food, Da Chong, to help the people survive the disaster years? Da Chong has become famous, you and I Everyone should get what he has, and think about it carefully." Tu Su said very firmly: "If I don't lend you food, I can still provide food to the people in the city." Yanping said: "The common people know the methods of your government, like me. How dare the common people go against the government? This matter needs to be discussed, it needs to be discussed." Tu Su walked up and sat down again, Yanping said: "I am a businessman, talking about business, if this matter does not work out, we can still be friends. Harmony brings wealth, do you think so or not?" Tu Su looked at Yanping and said, "You are a shrewd business bug!" Yanping said thoughtfully: "If you want to survive in the business world, you don't scheme against other bugs. Insects will also come to plot against you. This is a last resort for ordinary people. Then again, if there is no benefit, who will be willing to cooperate with you?" Tu Su pondered for a long time and said: "Salt, iron, and weapons are It is custom made by the imperial court. I cannot make the decision on this matter. I will contract the uniforms and bedding on the soldiers. I wonder what happens if there is an accident?" Yanping stood up and said: "Okay, the business is done. The food will be sent to the Yeling Mansion tomorrow. Come up." Tu Su held his hands in front of him and said, "Okay, thank you so much, I will take my leave." Yanping stood up and waved, "Please go away slowly, big worm." Doing business with the government is really profitable, but the rewards are endless. Small!
Tu Su returned to Yeling Mansion and had a moment of rest. The food problem of the refugees was finally solved. The next day, the servants of Yanping sent a bunch of baskets of grain to Yeling's mansion, totaling 1,800 shi. These 1,800 kilograms of grain are all full-grained grains. The people have hope to survive the disaster years. They open warehouses to release grains, distribute the grains to the people for farming, encourage them to cultivate wasteland, and free slaves. Like them, they belong to the Wei State. The people, like these common people, work in the fields. Subsequently, Ye Lingfu promulgated a new decree, and wealthy businessmen headed by Yanping expressed support. When the harvest will be abundant next year, the Bajji Law has solved the problem of clothing and food for the people, and organized local people to rebuild their homes after the disaster. However, the floods in Yedi have not been solved and have always become a hidden danger to the survival of the people in Yedi.
Marquis Anyang walked out of his mansion and went on a long journey. Tu Su came to visit and stood in front of Anyang Hou's mansion. The servant walked out and said, "My master has gone on a long journey for business." Tu Su asked, "Do you know where Mr. Sir is going?" The servant stood in front of Tu Su and said, "I don't know about this little one, and I don't dare to do it." Ask." Tu Su asked again: "When will Sir come back?" The servant replied: "Maybe a few days, maybe a year and a half." Tu Su nodded silently and said, "Okay, I will come again after Sir comes back." Visit." Then he left.
Anyang Hou was walking among the mountains, rivers and fields, looking at the people working in the fields. When he was tired, he sat on a stone to rest. Looking at the people working in the fields, he shouted: "Fellow, fellow!" An older man walked up and asked: "Old Chong, why did you come here? You must have lost your way." Anyang Hou smiled and said He replied: "Yes! Yes! This year must be a good harvest." The elder smiled and said: "Yes, today's Ye Ling is a good official who does practical things for the people. Old Chong "Family, you don't know something. Ye Ling just came to Ye to kill corrupt officials, get rid of bullies, and help our people. We people all respectfully call it Qingtian." It turns out that Tu Su's status in the hearts of the people is very high, and they began to think that the reform was in the Wei Dynasty. importance of the country. After the great disaster, the epidemic will inevitably spread. However, there are no traces of the spread of the epidemic in Ye. Could it be that there is help from the gods? He asked: "After the great disaster, the plague will inevitably spread. I have been in Ye for many years, and not a single insect has been infected with the plague." , why is this?" The elder said: "There are frequent floods in my Ye area, and the epidemic has begun to spread. A bug came to our Ye area, and the infected people were scattered and isolated. I don't know what kind of powder was sprinkled in the well water. After our people drank the well water, all the people who were infected recovered from the disease." Marquis Anyang asked: "Do you know who this insect is? Where does it live?" The elder said: "The common people don't know its surname? Who is it called? I don’t know where it lives?”
